"Hah!"
Kaido suddenly turned his head, his stare as sharp as twin blades piercing right through the Calamities on the ground.
The killing intent in his eyes was so thick it looked like a bloody mist swirling in his pupils, making it terrifying to even look at him.
"King! Queen! Jack! Listen well—" Kaido's voice echoed like a death bell from the deepest pits of hell.
Each word carried a grim promise of death, heavy and icy as it slowly rolled through the tense air.
"The traitor Who's-Who—execute him without mercy! The scum of the Whitebeard Pirates—execute them without mercy! All the lapdogs of the Eternal Divine Kingdom—execute them without mercy!"
At this point, Kaido's lips suddenly twisted into a sick, terrifying grin.
His giant Dragon claws squeezed together violently, the joints making sharp, cracking sounds.
"And that brat Portgas D. Ace—execute him right now!"
His voice overflowed with savage killing intent. The sheer cruelty seemed to unleash all his bottled-up anger in a single moment.
"If the Eternal Divine Kingdom dares to launch a full-scale attack, it means they already knew I would use Ace as a hostage... Which means that bargaining chip is totally useless now!"
Hearing this, Queen's arm began transforming mechanically into a giant cannon barrel with loud, metallic clanks.
"Understood, Boss! I will blast that Fire Fist brat to dust!"
His voice carried a sickening excitement, his beady eyes shining with a crazy light.
"This is the perfect chance to test my newly upgraded 'Plague Rounds'..."
King's black wings snapped open, his voice freezing cold: "I will personally oversee the execution."
His stare purposely swept toward Whitebeard, heavy with mockery as he silently implied, 'Let's see how you handle watching your 'son' die right in front of you.'
Jack could no longer hold back his wild excitement.
He eagerly swung his massive mammoth tusks as thick veins popped across his huge arms, fully showing off his bloodlust.
"Hahaha! We should have done this ages ago!" He threw his head back in a roaring laugh filled with disrespect.
"Should we hang his head over Onigashima's main gate?"
Kaido watched his crew's reactions with total satisfaction. His heavy Dragon tail slammed against the ground, instantly shattering dozens of stone tiles.
"Remember! Today, everyone who dares challenge the Beasts Pirates will die without a grave!!!"
Meanwhile, Whitebeard's face darkened completely, the Haki rolling off his Murakumogiri growing even more violent.
Yet, remembering he had already sent a rescue team for Ace, his mood slowly steadied—thankfully, Ron had seen this coming.
"Gurararara, do whatever you want. You are only capable of so much, Kaido you brat."
"..."
Kaido's massive chest moved up and down heavily, the thick muscles beneath his scales twitching out of control from pure rage.
He never imagined that he, the mighty "Hundred Beasts" Kaido, would be played by a simple traitor!
This insult chewed at his sanity like a poisonous snake, filling his Dragon pupils with bloodshot red lines.
"Who's-Who..." Kaido ground the name out through clenched teeth, his voice terrifyingly low.
His thick claws squeezed shut without him realizing it, making faint, explosive crackles in the air.
"I treated you well..." Kaido's voice began to shake—not from fear, but from a pushed-down fury that was right at its breaking point.
"I gave you a Calamity position! I gave you power! How dare you—betray me!!"
He could almost see Who's-Who standing right in front of him—those mocking eyes, that fake smile he always wore... Just thinking about it made his blood boil with burning rage.
"When I catch you..." Kaido's voice suddenly calmed down, but this quiet tone was far more terrifying than his loudest roars.
He slowly raised his Dragon claw, his eyes shining with a sick cruelty. "I will break your fingers one by one. Then I will crush your spine inch by inch, making you feel what true suffering means before you take your final breath!"
The foot soldiers watching from a distance shivered uncontrollably. They had never seen Kaido lose his mind like this. This Yonko, famous for his brutality, was now giving off a killing intent that broke all the rules of logic.
Even the Calamities naturally took half a step back, afraid they might get caught in the crossfire of his anger.
Kaido stood like a towering volcano right on the edge of exploding, giving off a freezing chill. The savage light in his eyes swelled like a breaking dam.
In a flash, the world seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant's hand, the sky abruptly changing colors.
The normally blue sky was swallowed by darkness, with thick clouds boiling like a pot of water.
Crimson-black lightning rampaged through the dark clouds, wildly striking downward.
Each bolt seemed to carry world-breaking power, tearing vicious cracks right through the air.
Kaido's bulging muscles tightened to their absolute limit.
His massive spiked club, Hassaikai, was wrapped in thick, purple-black Armament Haki, shining with a creepy, terrifying glow under the dark sky.
His massive body moved like lightning, tracing a deadly arc through the air. His speed was so extreme it left behind a blurry afterimage.
"Newgate!"
Kaido's voice, packed with total authority and the need to kill, rolled across the sea.
His Dragon tail whipped wildly behind him, each swing stirring up rough winds like a massive steel whip cracking through the sky.
"I have been waiting for you, old man! Let's see if you are dead yet!"
Before his words even faded, Hassaikai crashed toward Whitebeard like a falling star, carrying enough momentum to end the world.
Where the club swung, the crushed air let out sharp, screaming whistles.
"Hmph! This old man has been itching for a real fight, too!" Whitebeard scoffed coldly.
Then he roared, raising his giant naginata to meet the challenge!
In that exact second, two supreme Haki forces slammed together.
The moment of impact was like two stars crashing into each other, unleashing unbelievable power.
"BOOM!!!" An ear-splitting explosion shook the heavens, making the entire world shake.
The first to take the hit were the clouds within a full kilometer. Against the massive shockwave, the clouds were blown away like fragile cotton.
A massive gap was ripped open in the dark, stormy sky. Sunlight poured down through the opening, but it could not wash away the heavy terror hanging in the air.
Kaido slowly flashed a bone-chilling smile, slightly narrowing his Dragon eyes that burned with crimson flames.
His sharp senses clearly felt the tiny vibrations traveling down the handle of Hassaikai.
"Old man..." Kaido growled deeply, his voice dripping with disrespect. "Do not think you are the only one getting stronger!"
